My Dear Laptop

I have done you wrong, my dear laptop. I have called you names and have laid a hand on you. I keep you on an endless supply of life support, not for your own gain, but because I cannot bare to let you die without being able to surf my share of the internet or watch my share of shows. I treat you unkindly and my deepest wish is to be rid of you. I wish to trade you in for a newer model. One that is fast and shiny and sleek. I am unappreciative of the years that you have given me. I’ve written many papers at the college level using your keys. I have listened to great music through your speakers. I have enjoyed video after video on your screen. And yet, I engage you with distaste and anger and unsatisfaction.

Today things change. My deepest apologies are with you now, my dear laptop. I will treat you with the kindness and respect you deserve. You have, after all, given me so much and I have very little reason to be ungrateful. You have tried your best over the years and it is honestly not your fault that you’re aging. You’re not as young as you once were and you have trouble keeping up with my constant need for movement. For things to happen immediately and to my satisfaction.

I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused you. I just hope it is not too late.

About Me

"Lead us from the unreal to the real. Lead us from darkness to light. Lead us from death to immortality" – Sanskrit Mantra

My tag line is this: Imagine Immortality. It’s not about living forever. No one would actually want to live forever. What we want, instead, is time. Time to live, time to love, time to laugh and time to find ourselves. I imagine there will be a moment when we have all the time we need to accomplish our greatest feats and be our greatest selves. That’s why I imagine immortality.

From the lips of our mortal bodies, our words will grant us immortality.
